long live the basic plaid shirt

 

      I have deemed 2015 the year I put my fingers in as many pies as possible.  I have so many projects, plans, goals, and dreams for this year and my future. I have never felt so ambitious but I'm rolling with it. Some days I just want to fast forward and have everything I want to achieve, but I have to remind myself the joy is in the journey. So here's to a new year and the constant refining and improving of our lives!

School Girl Chic

 Jacket: Nordstroms Sweater: F21 Jeans: Joe's Jeans Purse: Kate Spade Shoes: Steve Madden

I love love love that the whole school girl trend is in right now.  Collars under sweaters, plaid and pleated skirts, oxfords... are just a few of my favorite things. It is cold. Taking pictures outside without a heavy coat on is pretty much torture.  I took these down in Provo while visiting my parents. We spent Christmas with Nate's side of the family in Houston, so we celebrated my family's Christmas tonight. I'm so thankful that my family moved out here. It's so nice to have them nearby, and have my mom cook for us so often. She's an incredible cook. I'll have to share some of her recipes on the blog, you will love them.
